"Type S" vector logo needed

I'm trying to find the 3rd Gen TL "Type S" logo as a vector file.

I want to get some custom laser etching done and need a file of this type. I'm not really fluent with design terms and language, so I'm not 100% sure what it is that I'm looking for. Using the Google, I've been able to locate a 2nd Gen Type S file:

Being as the 3rd gen logo is different, I'd prefer to have the proper style. Does anyone have any ideas?

Do you want it to be photo realistic to print or simplified to be cut into a decal? Also what file type are you looking for PDF, EPS, SVG, AI?

As far as file type you will have to talk to the person doing the etching, I'm not sure of the capabilities of these machines so I can show a semi realistic vector I drew up quick, also an overall size would be great to know so that I set it up and make sure that all the curves are smooth and that it will look good and clean at actual size.

What I drew fairly quickly:

Thanks for doing that, is NICE!! Would you mind emailing it to me? So I could do some comparison and send it over? todd.bruno (AT) verizon . net

I should have provided a bit more info. I'll be using the file to get a custom shift knob engraved. I have no idea what type of file it should be, or if it matters. The place that will be doing the etching just said it should be a vector file so it would scale properly. I have ZERO design knowledge or talent... I spend all my days in meetings and crunching spreadsheets.

They probably want a vector based EPS logo. This format allows you to resize the logo without it getting all distorted, ie. when you blow it up huge it won't get all pixelated/whorish looking.

Beyond that, I don't have one or know where you can get one. Sorry.

I have emailed you the vector logo, one in color and one simplified in B&W, I also scaled them up so the curve quality should be good as well. Let me know if you need a different file type, and make sure to post pics of the final result
